Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton was not responsible for overseeing compliance within the state's hotel quarantine program, an inquiry into the ill-fated scheme has heard.
But he said once the advice was provided to the massive bureaucratic task force, which he referred to as a "large beast", his team was unaware about whether the directions were actually being followed."Is it fair to say that [your team] doesn't have oversight of how they're [health directions] being proliferated and complied with?" Mr Ihle asked.For the latest news on the coronavirus pandemic read our live blog.
Professor Sutton said he did not consider them, explaining that the rules usually applied to certain individuals for diseases like hepatitis."There haven't been cases … where they felt such coercive powers would be beneficial to them," he said.Professor Sutton conceded testing at the hotels could have been strengthened, given it was never made mandatory.
"If you want to make [hotel quarantine] robust as possible, making more stringent requirements for testing is a reasonable consideration," he said.
729 dead in Victoria and counting. All on the premier’s watch
Oh but istandwithdan remember. Dear dan can’t do any wrong. Ffs ppl. He is incompetent. He is inept. In nsw we once had a premier who resigned over a bottle of wine. How can Andrews not step down?
The blame game has started! Looking for a LEADER in this pathetic haystack!! A wasted opportunity for Sutton to show his mettle..
So who did? Have we established who actually did
I simply can't understand why those quarantined weren't tested during the stay and before release especially when Victorians were paying for their hotel stays. The Victorian people that this government and it's agencies were supposed to protect are still paying the price.
We were told this last week if you had watched and paid any attention to previous hearings & evidence.
That sound you hear is the bus reversing up. Just got to see which one of Sutton, Mikakos and Andrews throws the others under it first.
Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab, and being spread intentionally to the world by the Chinese Communist Party! Why we lost jobs, families and everything! Take down CCP now!
So basically he's just a puppet to justify stuff?
